• Electrical appliances generate high temperatures. Always use the

handles provided and warn other users of the potential dangers (e.g.

escaping steam or hot water, especially when ironing vertically).

• Never treat clothing which is being worn.

Before use

Before doing anything else, remove the soleplate protector!

Before ironing for the first time heat the appliance at the

maximum setting (see D "Setting the temperature").

A little smoke and a slight smell may be emitted, but this

is only temporary. The water tank can then be filled

directly (see C "Filling with water/topping up").

Before ironing for the first time and after filling and hea-

ting up, the iron should be allowed to emit steam for at

least 1 minute to remove any impurities.

Filling/topping up water

Before filling the water tank, pull out the mains plug and

set the steam control to position .

Tilt the iron. The filler inlet can easily be opened by

pressing the push-button. The inlet will open with a

"click". Pour in water up to the max (9) mark. Close the

filler inlet by pressing the push-button again, before

returning the iron to the horizontal.

What water may be used ?

Your iron has been designed to operate using tap water.

However, if your water is very hard, you can mix it 50%

tap water with 50% distilled or demineralised water.

Do not add anything to the contents of the water tank

and do not use water from clothes dryers, scented or

softened water, water from refrigerators, batteries or air

conditioners, pure distilled water or rain water. These

contain organic waste or mineral elements that become

concentrated when heated and cause spitting, brown

staining or premature water to your iron.

Setting the temperature

D1 Electronic temperature control (Thermo Control)

On your electronic iron you can set the precise ideal tem-

perature for each material. The different types of material

are shown on the temperature control dial:

The soleplate of your iron is fitted with an electronic sen-

sor which continuously monitors the temperature of the

soleplate and keeps it at the precise selected setting. This

enables you always to iron at the optimum temperature.

D2 LED ”TRAFFIC LIGHT“ DISPLAY

The traffic lights tells you whether the soleplate is at the

selected temperature (see table below).

Tip: We recommend that you start with fabrics to be ironed

at a low temperature as the iron takes longer to cool

down than to heat up. For mixed fabrics set the tempe-

rature for the most delicate fabric.

Ironing and Steam functions

E1 Dry ironing

To iron without continuous steam, turn the steam control

to and set the temperature to suit the type of material

(care points •, ••, •••).

E2 Steam ironing

You can steam iron from temperature setting •• up. The

steam quantity can be set to between (minimum steam

quantity) and (maximum steam). We recommend setting

to maximum steam quantity only when the iron is at

temperature setting •••.

E3 Intra Steam

Your iron is fitted with the new Intra Steam system. This

technology generates higher steam pressure to enable the

steam to penetrate much faster and further into the fabric.

This way you get excellent results from your ironing.

The steam is emitted in frequent bursts rather than conti-

nuously. The pressure generated may cause a slight noise.

This is not a technical fault!

E4 Power steam button (from temperature setting •• up)

To generate a powerful jet of steam and remove stubborn

creases, press the power steam button.

Vertical steam ironing (from temperature setting •• up)

Ideal for removing creases from suits, jackets, skirts,

hanging curtains etc.

Important:

Never steam or iron clothing that is being worn!

- Hang up the garment on a hanger and hold the fabric

slightly taut with one hand.

- Set the thermostat control to maximum steam

- Hold the iron a few centimetres away from the garment

to avoid burning delicate fabrics.

- Press the power steam button repeatedly, moving the

iron from top to bottom.

LED display

You can start ironing

now. The soleplate is at

the optimum tempera-

ture for your material.

Wait for the iron to cool

down to the selected

temperature and the

LED display to switch

to GREEN.

You can start ironing

now, but the soleplate

is not yet at the selec-

ted temperature.

What to do

The soleplate is

at the right tem-

perature for the

selected material.

The soleplate is

still too hot for

the selected

material.

The soleplate is

still too cold for

the selected

material.

This means:Colour

YELLOW

GREEN

RED

The power steam and vertical steam functions (E 4) are

also possible if the steam control is set to . The interval

between bursts of steam should be about two seconds.

Important:

Never direct the steam at persons or animals!

E5 Spray function

To dampen stubborn creases, press the spray button.

Additional functions

F1 Anti-Drip system

Prevents water escaping from the soleplate when the

temperature is too low.

F2 Anti-scale system

Your iron contains an anti-scale cartridge to reduce scale

deposits. This considerably prolongs the operational life

of your iron. The anti-scale cartridge is an integral part of

the water tank and need not be replaced.

Do not use descaling agents, as these damage the lining of

the steam chamber and so may impair the steam function.

F3 Automatic electronic 3-position cut-out (depending on

model)

If, although switched on, the appliance is not moved, it

will automatically switch off after the following intervals:

After 30 sec., if the iron is standing on the soleplate or

lying on its side.

After 8 mins., if the iron is standing on its heel.

The LED display starts to flash yellow-green-red in regular

sequence. If the appliance is moved, it will automatically

switch on again and begin to heat up again.

After ironing

• Unplug from the mains, pour away remaining water

and set steam control to . Then allow the appliance to

cool down.

• Store the iron standing on its heel.

• Do not wind the cord round the hot soleplate.

Cleaning and maintenance

When the appliance has cooled down, wipe it down with

a damp cloth or sponge, as required.

Dirt can be removed from the soleplate with a damp

cloth or sponge. Do not use sharp or abrasive cleaning

agents or objects.

Important: If the appliance has been standing unused for

long periods, hold it horizontal and allow it to emit

steam for approx. 1 minute to clean the steam ducts and

remove any residue from the iron.
